Body Hair Transplant incorporates transferring follicles from different parts of the body to the head and additionally, transplanting hairs to the other body parts. It is a surgical procedure that can be successfully used to improve the patient’s appearance by utilizing body hair as the additional donor area for scalp hair restoration.

How it is performed?

This surgical treatment is performed by using the FUE technique and not by the conventional Strip/FUT extraction. It involves the removal of hair from suitable body parts and then implanting those follicles into the scalp (recipient) areas having baldness.

The doctor can take the benefactor hair from the arms, legs, chest, stomach or back; as the length of these follicles is sufficient. With body hair transplant, smaller scale units or single strands make the most typical appearance of hair on the body.
